Locust Street Players, a June Bug partnership, is a fledgling theatre company located in Floyd, Virginia.  It was founded by theatre majors and long-time best friends, Stacy Dowd and Susan Saunders.

Locust Street Players will be bringing their first show, Birth, a play by Karen Brody, to Roanoke, after an opening weekend at the June Bug Center in Floyd.

Dates:  May 25, 26 7pm, May 27, 2 PM

June Bug Center, Floyd

June 1, 2 7 PM, June 3, 2 PM

Metropolitan Community Church, Roanoke

Tickets available ONLINE ONLY (not at the door) at www.BoldAction.org/attend.

Birth is a documentary-style play based on over one hundred interviews the author conducted with pregnant women in the United States.  The cast works together as an ensemble to weave these many experiences into eight womens’ birth stories.  The play is funny, poignant, tear-jerking, and ultimately, thought-provoking.

BEBOLD is a movement to help promote and educate regarding mother-friendly childbirth.  All proceeds from these productions will go to benefit Mothering Circle, a group of women supporting other women through all seasons of life.

The showings will include a lobby ‘Birth Fair’, a bake-sale style concession counter, and and after-performance ‘talk-back’ featuring area professionals in the childbirth arena.
